Horn......
Seeing that i think a horn on a bike is useless (now,now ) and only good for saying "hi" . Used in anger ,even if you have time to find the button
it just doesn't cut it .Seeing the buttons are the other way round (the right way ) on my other bike I'm more likely to press the blinker button !
I carnt remove it completely for legal reasons (or want to )but it does look like an after thought to me .
I decided to find a better spot for it and came up with this .There is a bracket on the RHS which holds nothing but a tie wire .I had removed this
to lift the cables higher so the bracket was spare .Horn screws straight in (handy) just bend the tabs .Use a washer or two to get the horn tabs
pointing the right way when the horn locks tight .Connect wire ,put in black screw in old horn bracket .Done
If anything i'm calling it now LOUDER .Tank acts a bit like a trumpet .
And yes i did spray the starter motor SILVER :afraid: To match the motor.But i did spray the fork legs matt black seeing the original paint
was transparent
